An Indian woman has said she lost a family member in the Air India plane which crashed in Ahmedabad.

The plane was headed for the London Gatwick Airport with 242 people onboard, all of whom died except one British national named Vishwash Kumar Ramesh.

It is not yet clear what led to the plane crash, but a mayday call by the pilot indicated that it lost thrust and could not lift.

Meanwhile, a woman, Aditi Tatkare, shared her pain on Facebook as she said one of those who died was her relative.

Aditi identified the deceased as Aparna Mahadik, a senior crew member with Air India.

"It is with deep sorrow that I share the tragic loss of my cousin sister-in-law, Aparna Mahadik, Senior Crew Member with Air India, who passed away in the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad. Aparna Vahini was known for her dedication, humility, and warmth. Her untimely demise has taken away not just a beloved member of our family, but also a determined and self-reliant woman who touched many lives with her grace and spirit."

Aditi lamented that she was with Aparna just a few days before the plane crash that took her life.

She said:

"Just a few days ago, we were all together laughing, talking, sharing moments and we spoke about how unpredictable life is, and how important it is to cherish every single moment. Never imagined those words would come back to us so soon, in such heartbreaking context."

Aparna Satghare Kulkarni said:

"Aparna, my namesake, my younger colleague was my flight safety classmate and one of the nicest beings I have ever met.... her memory will remain with me forever... God bless her soul and may Amaira & Amol find the strength."

Francis Fernandes said:

"It was sad to hear that so many people lost their life's due to this tragic incident. A heartfelt condolence to the Bereaved family. May her soul rest in peace."

Devanshu Kothari said:

"Rip: she was part of the crew member in my recent flight from Mumbai to JFK.. miss Aparna and another gentleman were serving food on my side of aisle. This was just this past May. Hence her face is so fresh in my memory. She was very professional and polite. RIP."
